Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Watching the two granddaughters eating ravenously.

Li Zhijuan's mother curled her lips, thinking that the dead girl was just greedy, and then took a big bite of the elbow meat.

If she could not sell it for a few taels of silver like their aunt in the future, she would definitely not be willing to give it to them.

But she didn't think about how long it had been since her two granddaughters had eaten a normal meal. They usually ate porridge made of bran and wild vegetables, and even that was only half a bowl of porridge, which was not enough to fill them up, let alone oil and water. Now they could eat chicken bones and white flour buns, so how could they not eat quickly? What if their grandmother regretted it and wanted to go back? There would be nothing left to eat.

"Da Ya and Er Ya, when you are full, work hard. Remember, these are all given to you by your brother out of kindness. When you two get married, you must help your brother more."

The whole family unanimously believed that this baby was a boy, so they took extra care of them and brainwashed the two little girls at all times.

When Li Zhijuan married into the Zhang family, she seldom went back to her parents' home, let alone took things from them. She was very ungrateful.

Li Zhijuan's mother always felt that she must have failed to educate Li Zhijuan well since she was a child, which led to her being mean to her brother. So now she has the chance to brainwash her two granddaughters.

"Yes, I understand, grandma. We will take good care of our brother."

The two little girls gave the standard answers in a serious manner, and Li Zhijuan's mother and her sister-in-law nodded in satisfaction.

Li Dagui didn't care about that and ate in no time. He didn't wipe his mouth until he was full.

"I'll go to Zhangjiazhuang tomorrow to keep an eye on her and see if I can run into my mother-in-law again. Then I'll ask where Zhijuan is."

If I could meet Zhao Yuanzhen, I could have another meal.

I don't really care about Li Zhijuan, this ungrateful daughter. I just think that since her mother-in-law is rich now, she must not be poor. Since she is so rich, isn't it right for her to show some respect to her father?

"Yes, that's right. Follow her and ask where Zhijuan, the ungrateful bastard, has gone. Her parents are starving to death, and yet this unfilial ungrateful bastard is still out there enjoying the good life."

Li Zhiqiang's wife also nodded. She believed that her sister-in-law must be rich. Her mother-in-law was so rich, how could she not give money to her son? Li Zhijuan, the daughter-in-law, must have benefited from it.

The table full of food and snacks was eaten up by several people.

"Da Ya and Er Ya, clean up the table and wash the lunch boxes. I will take them to the restaurant to exchange for money later."

When the food boxes are packed, they are purchased directly with money. They are useless at home, so it is better to ask the shopkeeper to exchange them for money.

"Yes, wash it clean, his father, you are still smart."

"That's right. Don't you see who I am, Li Dagui? Otherwise, how could I afford to send my son to study in the capital?"

This is Li Dagui’s greatest pride.

My son is promising and is a scholar, and as a father, I have also supported him to study in the provincial capital, which proves that I am also a capable person.

He never mentioned a word about the money he got by stealing.

The next day, Li Dagui got up early in the morning and went to Zhangjiazhuang to keep watch.

Zhao Yuanzhen had nothing to do these two days, so she didn't leave the farm and stayed in the farm the whole time.

However, Li Dagui's timid appearance attracted the attention of the property management, who subsequently reported it.

When Zhao Yuanzhen heard Zhang Yu's report, she knew it was Li Dagui.

This person must be here to follow me, but I haven't left the village recently.

It seems that not only does he want to overcharge me, he also wants to make me the scapegoat.

how should I solve this?

After all, he is Li Zhijuan's father, it would not be good to go too far.

However, before she could figure out how to solve the problem, Li Dagui, Li Zhiqiang and other family members, young and old, showed up at the gate, shouting that they wanted to see Zhao Yuanzhen and Li Zhijuan.

The matter was brought to Zhang Yu, and when he heard that they were the second young lady's parents, he didn't dare to make a decision.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought that it would be resolved sooner or later, so she prepared to go out to meet them.

"Mother-in-law, you finally came out. These servants who look down on us won't let us in. How do you manage servants? They don't even recognize me."

I know you? Who are you? Where's your face?

"I said, what are you guys making such a fuss about?"

"What? Relatives, what you said is true. We are Zhijuan's parents and elder brother. It's not too much to meet Zhijuan."

"Zhijuan is not at the manor, she didn't come back with me,"

"Then where is she?"

"at home."

"Which home? Is it the capital city?"

Li Zhiqiang asked excitedly.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows. What news did she know?

"Yes."

"See, Dad, Mom, I was right."

When Li Zhiqiang came back the next day, he heard about Zhao Yuanzhen's story, but he heard from his classmates that the owner of Zhangjiazhuang was a woman, a widow. They also said that she was not only rich, but also paid for the road construction, which greatly shortened the time from Yanshan Prefecture to Xiaoshan County.

I also heard that she has started building a cement road from Xiaoshan County to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Everyone says that she is as capable as any man and is a kind and righteous businessman.

Li Zhiqiang thought about it for a long time, and although he found it a little unbelievable, he finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Yuanzhen, the mother-in-law of his ungrateful sister, had become a wealthy businessman who was as rich as a country.

He told his family about his speculation and asked his father to keep a close eye on him.

But unfortunately Zhao Yuanzhen hasn't been out recently, so he even took leave from the academy for Zhao Yuanzhen.

The longer they waited, the more anxious they became. They thought to themselves that they were their in-laws and their daughter was the second young lady of their family, so why couldn't they go in openly?

"Is this farm yours?"

Li Dagui didn't bother with beating around the bush and just stared at Zhao Yuanzhen and asked.

"Yes, it's mine."

"Then why don't you invite us in? Is this how you treat your in-laws? Be careful or I'll go shouting on the street and let everyone in Xiaoshan County know that you are a hypocrite and that this is how you treat your in-laws."

"Really? Then go ahead and yell, and see if I'm scared or not."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the village.

Originally, she didn't know how to deal with this family, but now that they came to her door themselves, she shouldn't blame them.

Zhao Yuanzhen had just scanned these people.

After looking at the scan results, Zhao Yuanzhen felt nauseous.

When these people were fleeing famine, they were robbed by bandits. They were penniless and had no food. It was cold and hungry in the middle of winter, so they ended up cooking and eating their little daughter.

Later, for a bite of food, Erya was given to others to harm many times. Erya was young and ignorant, and her parents, grandparents warned her not to tell anyone.

In this way, he relied on Erya all the way to exchange for food, barely staying alive, and finally returned to Xiaoshan County.

After receiving the subsidy and good farmland, Li Zhiqiang went back to school with a happy heart.

In order to support his studies, his family sold all kinds of things. Later, when there was nothing left to sell and he was lazy and unwilling to work, Li Dagui went to the streets to steal and make a living.

I don’t know if Li Dagui was lucky or these people were too stupid, but he was never caught.

Li Zhiqiang came back this time to pick up Daya. He had no money left after eating, drinking and having fun in the capital city. He also knew that his family had little money, so he had a bad idea and sold Daya to a brothel for 8 taels of silver. This time he came to take Daya to deliver the goods.

In the academy, he did a lot of bad things with those playboys in the academy. Plagiarism and bullying classmates were just trivial matters. He even stole the headmaster's things and sold them for money.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked the system to make two indentures and severance agreements, and made them look old so that they were from the time when Li Zhijuan got married.

That was exactly what they said at the beginning. Li Zhijuan was sold to Zhao Yuanzhen's family for three taels of silver. At first, Zhang Xinnian liked Li Zhijuan, but her family asked for too high a dowry. In the end, there was no choice but for Li Zhijuan to say that this was the money her parents earned from selling her as a maid. From then on, she had no relationship with the Li family anymore.

From then on, the Li family no longer needed Li Zhijuan to support them in their old age, and the relationship was considered severed.

It was just verbal talk at the beginning and no agreement was signed.

As time went on, Li Zhijuan's parents would probably refuse to acknowledge Zhao Yuanzhen anymore because they saw that she had become rich.

But it doesn’t matter. There is no need to use reason when dealing with bad guys.

The forged contract had the handprints of Li Zhijuan's parents, as well as Li Zhiqiang's signature and signature on it.

Nice job.

She planned to find time in the evening to secretly send a copy to the Li family.

He also listed and printed out everything the Li family had done, as well as various evidence and clues of crimes. Zhao Yuanzhen also sorted them out and divided them into several copies.

One copy was sent to the county magistrate, and the other copy was sent to the academy.

They printed out all the bad deeds of the Li family and asked people to take them out and post them on the streets.

In case some people didn’t know the Li family, Zhao Yuanzhen thoughtfully attached portraits of Li Dagui, Li Zhiqiang, and his wife and mother.

He walked along the way, beating gongs and reading aloud to those who could not read.

Now, the Li family became completely famous in Xiaoshan County.

Fearing that the reputation of Li Zhijuan, Zhang Xinnian and their future children would be affected, Zhao Yuanzhen fought for the people and sacrificed her own family for the sake of justice.

After this wave, everyone will only praise the Zhang family for their integrity and righteousness.

After receiving the evidence, the county magistrate quickly verified it and then began to arrest people.

Li Dagui, Li Dagui, his mother, and his wife were all thrown into prison.

Li Zhiqiang was not convinced.

"How dare you! I am a scholar with a good reputation. How dare you arrest me?"

"Tsk, what are you dreaming about? Your plagiarized scholar has been expelled from the academy. Get ready to be sued. You dare to steal the headmaster's things."

The jailer sneered at Li Zhiqiang.

When Li Zhiqiang heard the jailer's words, he suddenly froze.

It was exposed and the headmaster knew about it.

I'm done for. My life is over.

Li Dagui and the others didn't know what was going on and were still cursing.

But no one paid any attention.

A family of beasts.

For the sake of Erya's reputation, Zhao Yuanzhen did not make those things public.

Now all the members of the Li family, except Daya and Erya, have been arrested.

The four of them were suspected of murder, theft, robbery, and other crimes, and were eventually sentenced to exile, and Li Zhiqiang was sentenced to beheading.

He killed and dismembered San Ya with his own hands.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't know how to deal with Daya and Erya. The two children were fine and didn't do anything bad, but Zhao Yuanzhen didn't want to care.

After thinking about it, I wrote a letter to Li Zhijuan, explaining the whole story and let her make the decision.
